Summer TCA: "Eleventh Hour"

Suddenly, CBS is becoming a network version of BBC America. Which is to say: This is the second of back-to-back British adaptations. In this case, a science-bsaed police procedural. Confused? You're not the only one.

The first questioner complains bitterly about the confusing nature of the clip, and borrows a line from the video in pursuit of clarity: "Can someone please tell me what the hell is going on?"

The butler did it!

Ah, yes. "Eleventh Hour" is a Jerry Bruckheimer-produced police procedural about an FBI agent who pursues cases involving scientific issues. "It's later than you think!" the show's tagline asserts, in pursuit of viewer paranoia/fear/anxiety.

This turns out to be another adaptation of a British show., actually a miniseries starring Patrick Stewart.

What else is there to say? Assuming you've seen any/all of CBS's other procedurals you can already imagine the pace and tone and look of the show. The combination of tech info and straight-up police work (car chases, hard-boiled snooping and questioning) and some hint of darkness in the hero's past.
